W. T. Stead Knihy

Kniha o života po smrti, která tuto problematiku podává z trochu jiného pohledu, než např. knihy Moodyho. Informace v ní obsažené nebyly tentokrát získány nějakou hypnotickou regresí nebo díky prožitku klinické smrti, ale prostřednictvím tzv. automatického písma. Autor tímto způsobem komunikoval se svou zemřelou přítelkyní o zkušenostech s posmrtnou existencí. Kniha nám dává možnost zamyslet se nad hodnotou spiritismu a podobných praktik. Sám autor zahynul při katastrofě Titanicu, jejíž zkázu i svou vlastní smrt předpověděl již dvacet let před touto událostí.

The narrative centers on W. T. Stead, a journalist who perished in the Titanic disaster while en route to a peace congress. His daughter, Estelle, a spiritualist, sought to connect with him through a medium, Pardoe Woodman, who had predicted the tragedy. The resulting work, published a decade later, presents Stead's insights on his death and the afterlife, conveyed through automatic writing. This exploration of communication beyond the grave intertwines themes of loss, spirituality, and the quest for understanding in the face of tragedy.
